Re: Licensing

I don't understand what you mean with this:
The licenses are soecifically to do with the 5 machines only,
hence no more licenses are required

Every client which connects to the Terminal Server needs both a CAL
and a TS CAL.

Can you post the complete information from the TS Licensing
Manager? I.e. the figures showing under the headings Type - Total -
Available - Issued, for all types of licenses?

Thanks for your info.

There are no issues shown in the eventlog.
The licenses are soecifically to do with the 5 machines only,
hence no more licenses are required

After looking through the various Manager app, the TS Server
fully qualified domain name is shown where querying the
properties etc.

Have you checked in the TS Licensing Manager if you still have
TS CALs available? Sounds like all 5 TS CALs have already been
issued?

Is there anything in the EventLog on the terminal Server
regarding licensing? More specifically: can the TS locate the
TS Licensing Server?

Scenario:
Win2003 TS machine running on standalone box within the
Active-Directory. Machine is also running the Licensing
manager and everything seems to be correct
5 Cals running as Per Device on the machine and all been
activated

Issue:
We bought a smaller company out sometime ago and they use Win
XP Pro on their machines but in a peer-to-peer environment.
These users are now receiving the pop-up message about their
temporary licence about to finish.

I have checked the License manager and it shows temporary
licenses for these users but it also shows for two PCs on the
Domain as temporary.

I read that the TS should be configured as Domain not
Enterprise for these users but requires enterprise if its in
an active-directory domain [which it is]
My fear is that they will not be able to connect anymore....
1. Is this correct
2. What is require to allow these licences to become
permanent on these machines

any help will be appreciated!
